Author's Note: Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. I have another chapter for you in this odd little story about a mean girl that likes coffee and a nice guy that likes smoothies.

Twilight Warrior 627: I already have a story where they went there before they were even a couple :P

Dan ran Freddie's character into the ground to make him get with Sam and I just pulled him out of it by having him learn from the relationship that he will never make the same mistake again. For any Seddies who might be upset that I said that, remember, Freddie in 'iLove You' admitted he got into because the kiss was fun and he forced feelings that weren't there. It was an insult to your ship and threw away all the potential to a real exploration of them as a pairing.

PD31: Noble or crazy for turning down a girl that looks identical to Elizabeth Gillies especially when she tells him to go lower when he was already at her bellybutton. Also, that will left to be seen, but since 'TFB&J' it will be interesting how he will respond since for the reasons the got back with Jade, love was not one of them.

Jeremy Shane: Thanks

Fanfic-Reader-88: The one thing you could say about Freddie before the Seddie arc was that he wasn't solely going for girls on looks, but always wanted to get to know them to be in a relationship, not an easy hookup.

Anlmoon: Thank you, it is a fun pairing to write as character types they are opposite, yet have so much in common.

angel-1844: Thanks, and I have updated sooner.

Challenge King: Thanks and it is easy for them to have passion as they each understand the concept of love better than all the other characters.

Agent-M-0167: It is a very terrifying dilemma to realize that the person that you thought loved you turns out not to have loved you as much as you loved them. That was what was disturbing about 'Tori Fixes Beck and Jade', loving Jade wasn't one of the reasons he got back with her and they had been together for 3 years, 7 months before. One would think that would have been a big contributing factor.

Now on with the chapter.

Chapter 3

Jade took a deep breath as she looked at herself in the mirror after quickly freshening up, fixing the last of her light make up, straightening her shirt and buttoning up her skirt (after having to change her leggings and undergarment after she had gotten far more… excited than she originally realized from her encounter with Freddie).

Now all she had to do now was exit her bathroom and head downstairs, just turn to her right and walk out of the room. That's all she had to do… just turn and walk… to face the very strong, gentle and handsome teenager that she had just cheated with against her boyfriend.

"L-l-lower Freddie…"

She took a deep breath and blinked as the words she had spoken to him earlier crossed her mind. She shook her head to clear that thought and finally rallied the courage to turn away from the mirror so she could make her way down stairs.

The dark haired teenager made her way down the stairs to find the handsome teenager patiently waiting in the kitchen. She stopped at the last step and rested her right hand over the decorative knob on top of the end of the stair banister. She took a moment to look over him and gaze over his physical appearance. She couldn't deny his physical attractiveness and strength he showed with her and she couldn't deny how much of a turn on that had been for her.

He looked up at her with a smile plastered on his handsome features, but she returned with a cautious expression with slightly parted lips and eyes opened a little wider than normal as if she had just been caught doing something inappropriately (and ignoring the fact that she had been doing something inappropriately with him probably a good twenty minutes ago).

Freddie slightly frowned at her returned and expression and asked with clear concern in his voice, "Are you alright?"

She glanced down at the floor and swallowed down her nervousness as she took the final step to kitchen floor. She mumbled out without looking up to meet his eyes, "I'm fine… ready to go?"

"Just as soon as you tell me what's bothering you."

She snapped her head up and gave him a deep frown with a harsh glare. She hissed out, "I told you I'm fine."

He cracked the softest of smiles as he countered, "No you're not. What's wrong?"

She maintained her harsh glare as she took a step forward in an attempt to intimidate him since it usually worked for every guy at Hollywood Arts; however unlike the boys at school that would immediately backpedal, Freddie maintained his spot and she was forced to stop in her tracks before she literally bumped into him.

She tried to ignore the fact that she was close enough to smell the hint of his cologne or the soft breath from his nose tickling her upper lip or that she was close enough for a kiss. She tried to set aside all of those things by answering with a low growl, "I'm fine. Are you just one of those stubborn people?"

She saw the hesitation in his eyes to answer her, but she quickly realized that it wasn't out of her successfully intimidating him as she saw a hint of nervousness, but lacked of any element of fear in his eyes.

He licked his lips then answered, "Maybe, but it's not that. I've just learned how to pick up on being lied to." Her frown of anger turned into one of confusion as he was able to put on a knowing smile while continuing, "Something else I learned from Sam since she's a self proclaimed master at it."

Jade smirked in return and retorted without actually bothering to think on her statement, "How do you know she's not just lying about that part?"

Freddie instantly snorted out a laugh then started letting out a hearty laugh that Jade found became surprisingly infectious. It may have not been a particularly funny joke, but for some reason they were feeding off the other's laughter. He steadied himself by resting his hands on her hips and she instinctively rested her hands on his muscular chest over his black vest.

Once the pair settled their laughter, their eyes met one another with mirroring smiles. However as the seconds ticked away, Jade's smile faltered and she put on an apprehensive expression while Freddie returned with one of concern and asked, "Are you going to tell me what's bothering you?"

She bowed her head as she kept her hands on his chest. She whispered out so softly that she wondered if she had actually spoken or she had just thought her statement, "I asked you to go lower."

He answered with a sweet, reassuring tone to the dark haired teenager, "And we stopped—"

She glanced up to meet his eyes and interrupted, "No… I've never asked Beck to go lower… we've never…"

Freddie's eyes widened as he took in a breath. He started having a fit to clear his throat and do everything in his power to avoid looking into her eyes. "You what? You mean you're a—"

She narrowed her eyes again on him with a harsh glare and questioned with a threatening tone, "I'm a what?"

His mouth started opening and closing like a fish as he tried to mutter out, "I mean… I thought… you've been together for so long that maybe…"

She frowned at him and continued to question, "What? You thought I would give it up that easily even to him?" A part of her knew how ridiculous she sounded as over the course of the last hour she had jumped him twice with the potential result of either encounter ending in such a way, but she needed to remain in control of the conversation so she fell back on the only thing she had left: sheer audacity.

He bowed his head and took a quick breath then slowly let it out. "Let me put it another way… my mother is a very devout woman and she's had a very particular way to raise me in regards to sex which I agree with, but… if I had been with Carly as long as you've been with Beck while loving her as much as I have and she the same with me… I'm not going to say I wouldn't have been tempted to express our love for one another if she was willing… so if you think I'm making some kind of judgment against you or think less of you from maybe assuming you and Beck had… I'm not. I just do know how that level of love feels and it might be frustrating on how to express it."

Her threatening expression quickly turned into one of wide eyed and thin lipped. "Oh…" she whispered and the small black cross hanging around her neck almost being a neon sign for his statement. She bowed her head in the hope to shield her face from displaying her embarrassment. "Well… okay, I—I get that. I can see how you could see that from your perspective. You said you loved—love her… nearly dying for her…" She blinked at the idea that he would do such a thing then cautiously questioned, "Did you really nearly die for Carly?"

Freddie gave her a patient smile and answered with a near hallowed tone, "Yes, I was pushed her out of the way of a taco truck that nearly ran over her, but it hit me."

He gently took her right hand still resting on his chest with his left hand and raised his right wrist up to her from her hip. She looked at him with a perplex expression at his held wrist then noticed several tiny scars on his wrist. He brought her hand over his wrist and her fingertips brushed over the slight roughness over the otherwise smooth skin. "That's where they removed the pins after the six weeks it took for my wrist to heal after being broken."

She looked up at him with nearly doe eyes, but he ignored the expression for a moment as he bent over to his left and started pulling up his left jean leg up to above his knee. He turned his leg slightly and she turned her attention to the muscular leg, but noticed a more prominent scar around his knee. He glanced to her eyes to meet them and guide them to the scar on his leg then whispered, "That's from the knee surgery to repair the damage. I wore a cast for six weeks and I still have pins in my leg and a plate."

He gently retook her right hand and brought it to the left side of his forehead and let her fingertips brush over. "I don't know if you can feel it, but that's where my head was sliced open. For a flesh wound, I sure bleed a lot from it."

He lowered her hand, but continued to gently hold it as he looked her directly into her eyes. She took a sharp breath from the intensity of his look as he finished, "It's one thing to say you would die for someone, it's another to willing back the statement up… and I bare the scars… inside and out to prove my love."

She tried to put up her tough girl image, but she couldn't deny how moving that level of devotion of love from Freddie. She questioned for a moment if Beck would ever go that far for her if the occasion called for it. She felt a soft chill go through her as she couldn't give herself a definitive answer.

She reached out with her other hand to gently take his right wrist back up, but to stop in front of her lips and carefully kissed over the tiny scars with a piece of her wishing that she could kiss them away. She lowered his hand then barely lifted off of her heels so that her lips could reach his forehead.

When she was back to eye level with him, he gave her a timid expression as she whispered, "You're a very brave man Freddie… any girl would be lucky to have you."

The tech-producer bowed his head and bashfully answered, "Thank you." He cleared his throat then looked her in the eyes to continue, "But back to you, don't feel guilty… you just needed to be wanted. It doesn't mean you love Beck any less… and I wouldn't have gone any further than you wanted me to go if I hadn't—'snapped' out of it."

Jade took a moment to study his soft brown eyes to try to determine the sincerity of his words. It wasn't hard as his eyes were completely honest and as reassuring as that was to her a part of her found it disturbing that Beck couldn't do the same with her at times. She took several more seconds to form an answer then replied, "Thanks… now enough chitchat; let's get to Tori's and get something to eat."

He smirked then readily agreed, "Sounds good to me, lead the way."

Vega Residence
Los Angeles, CA

Tori opened the door with an expecting smile and commented as she sat her eyes on the pair, "Wow, I didn't expect you to be gone so long." She stepped aside for the pair to enter the nice home.

Jade crossed her arms under her chest and was about to sarcastically snap at the lighter brunette, but Freddie laughed over his shoulder, "Oh, that's my fault."

The raven hair girl sucked in a sharp breath at hearing him admit such a thing and felt a momentary bit of panic as Tori gave them a strange expression while closing the door behind them and the pair turned to face the brunette.

Freddie let out a soft laugh as he explained, "We went to Jet Brew after Beck couldn't make it to pick us up. Jade wanted some coffee and I wanted to try one of their smoothies—not the best idea." He gave an awkward laugh then continued, "Something was wrong with my smoothie and a few minutes later, my head was over a toilet in their restroom. Jade came to check on me and helped clean myself up a little." He looked to the pale girl and commented with a tender voice, "Real sweet of her."

Jade put on a somewhat shocked expression as if she didn't know any better, would have bought his story and the fact that he called her 'sweet'.

He looked back to Tori and finished, "We went back to Jade's so she could get me something to settle my stomach and wrap up catching up."

Tori instantly put on a worried expression as she took a step towards him and rested a hand on his right bicep. "But you're okay now?"

Jade's brow instantly furled as she felt a familiar sensation seep into her chest at watching Tori's reaction to Freddie.

He glanced to the raven haired girl and commented, "Yeah and Jade was able to get me a refund too. She scared the mess out of the manager."

Tori nodded along as she apparently was accepting of the explanation with a quick glance towards the green streaked hair girl and soft smirk. "She has that way with people."

Jade frowned in return, but instead of engaging in any verbal sparring, Tori continued with Freddie, "Are you going to be able to eat dinner? What mom's fixing might be too heavy for you." She motioned her head past the pair to behind them towards the kitchen.

The pair turned to see Mrs. Vega deeply involved in cooking dinner, so she didn't pay attention to the teenagers.

Freddie looked back to Tori and gave her a reassuring smile. "I think my stomach is pretty settled, but I'll take it easy and if I start to get queasy, I'll just stop and have the rest as leftovers later tonight?"

Tori gave him a relieved expression with a smile. "That's fine. We'll have popcorn for the movie and leftovers if you have to."

Freddie broke into a smile at the suggestion, and Tori blinked and pointed to Freddie's mouth as she noticed something. "What's wrong with your lip?"

His right hand shot up to touch his bottom lip with the pads of his pointer and middle finger. His lip was slightly split horizontally and bruised.

Jade sucked in a breath as she realized that she had bit down enough on his bottom lip to hurt him.

The tech-producer nervously laughed out as he dropped his hand away from his lip, "Oh, I guess I bit my lip somehow when I was throwing up." He looked to Jade and she was reassured with a soft smile from him. "I guess neither one of us noticed it."

The screenwriter gave a slight nod of her head and put on an even expression to do her best to cover for the fact that she was the one responsible for his lip.

Freddie turned his gaze to her and she could see that he was trying to reassuring her and absolve her of anything with his soft smile and kind look in his eyes.

Tori tenderly cupped under his chin and pulled his gaze from Jade (which sent an instant spike of fury through the raven girl) as she examined his lip. "You bit yourself pretty good. Does it hurt?"

He snorted out a laugh, "Since you're the one that noticed, I guess not. I'll be fine—"

Jade interrupted him by grabbing Freddie by the wrist and started pulling on him to follow her. "Let me go doctor it up," she instructed whether than asking him and ignored the surprised expression from her rival as she dragged him around the couch to head upstairs.

The pair was in Tori's bathroom with Freddie resting his bottom and gripping his hands back against the edge of the bathroom sink counter while Jade was standing close enough for their shoes/boots to contact and if he hadn't been leaning slightly back, would have been chest to chest. She was standing that close as she had a tiny bit of topical medication on the tip of right hand middle finger while she gently held Freddie's chin with her other hand.

Jade dabbed the slight abrasion with her finger and he hissed out for a moment from the contact of her the ointment off her finger.

She gave him a sorrowful expression and whispered, "Sorry I bit your lip… I just…" She bowed her head slightly to avoid his gaze as she lowered her hand away from his lip and finished, "You made me feel really good at that moment and I… reacted."

He softly whispered, "Good."

Her eyes shot up in surprise to meet his eyes.

His eyes shot open and his cheeks instantly started to blush at realizing what he had just spoken. He cleared his throat and tried to clarify, "I mean… in the moment… the point was to make you feel good. I may have not been thinking completely clearly, but that didn't mean I didn't have enough sense to make sure you were enjoying it."

She slightly bowed her head as she thought back on both makeout sessions. He had focused on her completely, trying to hit her erogenous zones or potential ones without going too far. She hadn't even got one button undone on his shirt. She commented without conscious thought as she continued to recall his touches and kisses, "You did…"

She looked up as she realized what she had spoken and met patient and welcoming eyes.

"I'm glad I could bring you at least that little bit of pleasure."

She broke into a soft smile as he continued, "At least I didn't leave a mark on you. I was afraid I would… I wouldn't want to hurt you."

She raised her pierced eyebrow, "Too bad?"

His brow knotted up and asked as if he hadn't heard her correctly, "You wanted me to bite you?"

She gave him a wicked smirk and answered in a hushed tone, "I'm into vampires."

He broke into a wide grin and softly chuckled, "You wanted me to go all Fredward Cullen on you?"

She slightly frowned as she didn't understand the reference. "Fredward Cullen?"

He let out a soft laugh. "We did a parody about a year ago on the whole vampire craze. I dressed up as Edward Cullen and really cheesed it up… the ladies loved it; I nearly had to beat them off with a stick."

"I guess I'll have to see it."

He smirked as he leaned closer with his lips mere millimeters from her lips and gazing straight into her eyes. He whispered out in a low, soft tone as he had used for his parody, "I'm not responsible if you fall for me… or bite you murderously."

She wanted to laugh at his tone in thinking that had worked on other girls, but the intensity eyes caught her breath in her throat. Her eyes flickered to his lips as she softly felt his hands rest on her hips.

She wasn't sure which one of them leaned in first, but the next moment their lips were in contact. The taste of the bit of ointment on his bottom lip was bitter, but she didn't care as she deepened the kiss and slid her arms up his chest to wrap around the back of his neck. He returned the intensity of the kiss as she felt him pull her closer to him and her breast pressed against his muscular chest.

"What are you two doing?" a drawling voice called out.

Jade instantly pulled away and turned her head to look at the owner of the voice and whatever color her face held drained away. She heard from her left ear Freddie trying to quickly clear his throat.

The pair looked to see Trina standing in the hallway. However, she didn't look wide awake, but groggy as her eyes couldn't seem to really focus on either of them.

Freddie called out with a concerned tone, "Trina, what are you doing out of bed?"

"I needed to wazz," she hissed out half asleep, but still managing enough to put her sense of irritation in her voice. She turned her attention to Jade and questioned, "What are you doing kissing my man? I called dibs on him."

Jade knotted her brow and felt a sense of outrage that Trina could call ownership over Freddie.

Freddie walked over and gently took Trina by the arm and motioned his head for Jade to take the other girl's arm. He calmly explained, "Trina, the pain medication they gave you is making you see things. Jade was just putting some medication on my lip. I bit it earlier when I drank something that made me sick." He looked to Jade and she instantly saw that he was hoping she would play along.

The raven haired girl nodded along and walked over to take Trina's other arm to help Freddie lead Trina into the bathroom.

"Oh? I could have taken care of that," she muttered out with a goofy grin.

He smiled to the older Vega sister as they guided her to the toilet. "That's sweet Trina, but you need to be looked after. Do you need help to use the bathroom?"

Jade's eyes shot open at hearing the question. Of course she knew that Freddie didn't mean himself to help her unless it was a dire emergency, but worried that he was about to volunteer her to help the comedic actress. That fear was quickly squashed as he continued, "Do you want me to get Tori or your mom?"

Trina verbally brushed him off with half closed eyes as they reached the toilet, "No, I'm fine." She shook her arms out of their grasps then raised the top seat of the toilet. She looped her thumbs between the waistband of her sweatpants and hips and started pulling them down.

Freddie threw up a hand to cover his eyes while Jade shouted in outrage, "Trina! Give Freddie a chance to leave the room!"

"Soorrryyy! But I have to wazz!" she answered becoming even more incoherent as she finished pulling her pants down and sat on the toilet.

Jade quickly took Freddie by the elbow and led him out of the bathroom while he kept his eyes covered so that he wouldn't run into anything. She was quick in getting them out of the bathroom and he quickly gave her a thankful smile before they started back to the first floor.

Freddie was the first in the living room with Jade just a step behind him to his right and surprising to the pale teenager, Tori was at the bottom of the stairs to meet them. She gave the pair a concerned expression as she commented, "I thought I heard shouting?"

The actress was quick to reply, "It was just your sister going nuts on the pain killers they gave her."

Freddie motioned over his shoulder with his thumb and commented with a soft laugh, "Trina's in the bathroom. I think someone should check on her in a few minutes; Jade's right, the pain medication is really doing a trip on her."

Jade crossed her arms under her chest and rolled her eyes. She muttered out with a hint of disgust in her voice, "Yeah, I'm trying to doctor is lip and she just comes barging in there to use the bathroom. She didn't even give Freddie the chance to get out of the bathroom before she started pulling down her pants.

Tori's eyes shot open and her mouth started opening and closing like a fish.

"She did what?" Mrs. Vega called out from the kitchen apparently now willing to pay attention to her guests.

Freddie quickly assured her with a nervous laugh, "I didn't see a thing ma'am."

Tori started, "Oh… okay—"

Jade muttered out loud enough for Mrs. Vega to hear from the kitchen, "Wouldn't have been your fault anyway."

The combination of statements from the teenagers was apparently enough for Holly as she turned back to her cooking.

Tori threw a quick glance to her rival then looked back to Freddie to continue speaking, "I'll check on her and get her back into bed then we can go ahead and have dinner."

Jade slightly frowned as it hadn't been brought up that Freddie wanted her to stay.

"Sounds great," he began then looked to Jade for the briefest of moments to catch her eyes. She wasn't sure what he saw in them, but regardless, he looked back to Tori and asked, "Is it okay if Jade stays for dinner? We really didn't get a chance to catch up between the throwing up and trying to settle me at her house. We can all swap stories over dinner?"

The brunette was caught off guard for a moment, but quickly gathered her wits as she answered, "No—I mean no, it's not a problem." She looked over her shoulder to her mother and called out, "We can set an extra plate?"

"Oh, she'll just have Trina's portion," the matriarch casually answered.

Jade raised a corner of her mouth and her right eyebrow as she looked Freddie. He returned with a charming smile and the pale girl noticed from the corner of her eye that Tori raised an eyebrow too with a slight questioning look in her eyes.

The pale raven girl kept her focus on Freddie's eyes as she heard the brunette commented with a cautious tone while making her way towards the stairs, "I'll go check on Trina and be down in a few minutes."

Author's Note: I know what you're probably scratching your heads about why am I asserting that Jade is a virgin when I know a good majority of Bade fans believe that they are active. Well, when the series first began back in 2010, I assumed that too with them being together already for so long before the series began and they are teenagers after all (and why else would he put up with her attitude for that long), but then 'Jade Dumps Beck' aired fairly early in the series run and made me believe that they aren't active. Why? From a guy's perspective, if they were, Beck would not have complained about getting only a can of lemonade on his birthday. Almost two years into their relationship and that was all he got on his birthday, he isn't getting anything else from her. So I'm using my interpretation of the series on the characters as starting points for the characters.

Finally, hoped you enjoyed. See you the next update.
